Deputies say they're close to solving death of Deltona man

Christopher Jemery found shot, bound in Sanford

Investigators said they are close to solving the killing of a 25-year-old Deltona man, who was beaten during a robbery at his apartment and then left for dead in Sanford.

Deputies have not charged anyone with Christopher Jemery's killing yet, but charges are expected, they said.

One person has been charged in the home invasion robbery and deputies said they planned to charge a second person.

"Both are suspects in Jemery's murder and are expected to face charges in the killing," the Volusia County Sheriff's Office said in a release.

Jemery was found shot and bound in a wooded area near West Airport Road, barely alive. He died in the hospital three days later.

Blood stains were found on the floor and wall of his apartment.

Deputies were tipped off by a person who said they heard two men, Justen Charles, 24, and a man named Christian, talking about robbing Jemery the night before he went missing.

According to deputies, Christian Cruz, 19, was captured on surveillance at a bank in Casselberry on April 26 using Jemery's bank card to withdraw $440. His fingerprints were also found in Jemery's apartment, deputies said.
